I get asked often what should I wear as a wedding photographer while I’m photographing a wedding? I know that when I was first starting out, it took me a long time to find the perfect “work uniform” that I could wear and be comfortable in for 8-12 hours at a time. I can’t even begin to tell you the horror stories!
So, as we begin to get ready for wedding season, I wanted to share my favorite “little black dress” (with pockets!!), super comfy shoes, and accessories that I wear for all of my events. Below is my updated “go-to” items that I buy in multiples and wear out each season.
Now is the perfect time to stock up & I hope these are helpful for your next wedding!
No. 1 - Amelie Dress by Boden - This Amelie dress is the updated version of my beloved Phoebe dress which has sadly been discontinued. The Amelie is a very universally flattering A-Line shape and made from breathable fabric which is great for when you start to break a sweat. The best feature about this dress? It has POCKETS which is a “must-have” for me!
No. 2 - Gabor Gabor Black Flats - I LOVE these shoes! They are like sneakers with a rubber and flexible sole but they look like nice flats from above. These are 100% my secret shoe weapon on a wedding day!! They didn’t need any “breaking in” so no band-aids required. I’ve had mine for about 5 years and they are still going strong! They also come in a cute Ballerina Flat or Buckle Toe options.
No. 3 - TOMS Jutti Flats - Black Suede - Perforated Detail - I change into these flats as soon as the ceremony is over and cocktail hour begins. I love these TOMS because they are so comfy and give my feet a bit of break by switching up my arch support. I purchase at least 2 pairs every season and wear them out by the end of the year.
No. 4 - Rothy’s Pointed Black Flat - (save $20 when you order your first pair of Rothy’s through this LINK) - I like these Rothy’s for a few reasons but mainly because they are very stylish and comfortable at the same time. They are machine washable so they are going to last a long time. I will wear these for either part of my day but I would suggest getting arch supports if you require more support insole support.
No. 5 - Black Compression 5” Bike Shorts - One time I wore Spanx to a wedding and by the ceremony, I was ripping them off before the ceremony even started because I couldn't breath! So, I found a pair of compression bike shorts (similar to linked) and they are my go-to “shorts” i wear under every dress when I’m working. They are comfortable, give me a bit of shape, and do not tug or pull throughout the day.
